  • ️Tue Nov 03 2015

Note: This DVD makes its home market debut on the 10th.

Mr. Holmes - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray
Video on Demand
The review for this movie came out a week early, because I'm an idiot and I filed it under the wrong date. At least I didn't screw up in the other direction and the review isn't a week late.

Roar - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray
One of the strangest movie productions of all time. They used real animals that were only semi-trained and there were dozens and dozens of injuries on the set as a result. The end result was only a film that earned good reviews, but bombed at the box office. It's worth checking out, especially if you like strange productions like this, but isn't essential viewing.

Stung - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack
Video on Demand
A creature feature that earned mixed reviews and went nowhere at the box office. It was also a VOD premiere, so it likely will do much better on the home market. Extras include an audio commentary track and a making of featurette. It's a solid rental, for fans of the genre.

TV on DVD Full Series Megasets - Buy from Amazon: Californication, Flight of the Conchords, I Love Lucy, Mrs. Brown's Boys, Star Trek: The Original Series, That 70s Show (Blu-ray), Masterpiece: Worricker
It's an amazing week for TV on DVD Megasets and nearly every one is worth picking up. Except for Californication. I loathe that show.

Vacation - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray Combo Pack
Video on Demand
I have nothing against remakes, reboots, delayed sequels, etc. Not on principle. However, there is an added risk when the original movie is a classic. It is nearly impossible to live up to the source material, so the movie might be unfairly judged as a result. Or sometimes the new movie just sucks. Even without Nostalgia Glasses hurting this movie, it is hard to say the film would have been a hit. Add in weak extras and it isn't worth a rental.

Video on Demand - Buy from Amazon: Before We Go, Nebraska, Seymour: An Introduction, She's Funny That Way, and The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet
Not much in the way of VOD releases this week. Nebraska is the best, but you should already own it on Blu-ray.

Wanda Nevada - Buy from Amazon: Blu-ray
I previously reviewed this movie and had mixed opinions on the film. It could have been a really good movie, had they not tried to copy Pretty Baby and just let Peter Fonda and Brooke Shields have a mentor / mentee relationship.
